Promoting and Living Sustainability Are Not the Same

Willingness to pay and the importance of the topic “sustainability” are continuing to decline in Bavaria. Economic challenges require significant efforts along the logistics chain. Promoting sustainability and living sustainability are probably two different pairs of shoes, not just in Bavaria.

(Nuremberg) The hesitant upward trend of the German economy is stagnating. Accordingly, there is also no further upswing in the topic of “sustainability” in the Bavarian transport and logistics sector. The willingness to pay for sustainable logistics services continues to decline compared to the previous month. Customers have made a noticeable shift in priorities towards economic efficiency.

Bureaucracy and High Costs Hinder Growth

Bureaucracy and high costs continue to burden the industry and hinder growth. Accordingly, the capacity for seemingly dispensable additional expenses in the context of “sustainability” appears to be severely limited. Currently, no significant change in the situation is expected for the summer months.
